Gravity Falls Episode 3 and 4 Group REACTION | The Hand That Rocks

[@FelixVGs]

Soos is definitely one of those universally loved characters. While he could never, and should never, be the star of his own show, he is a perfect supporting character for the main cast while also having his own life and personality.

[@FelixVGs]

@@jorgitosilva I hate to disagree, but I don’t think Soos falls into that character trope. I don’t think he’s dumb, I think he’s a kid that never grew up. Any Soos centric episode is all about him learning to grow up. Him acting like a child results in him being impulsive, rash, blunt, and socially awkward, but he is aware that he is not normal. Most dumb characters don’t know how dumb they are, but Soos is fully aware of how different he is, which is why he clings so hard to the Mystery Shack, a place where he is accepted unquestioningly. A lot of times, Soos will apologize about his behaviors, knowing that he shouldn’t do them, but has some need to do them. What makes Soos so lovable is his positive qualities; he is genuinely kind, puts others first, fiercely loyal, and extremely dependable.

[@columkeenan7708]

@@FelixVGs Yeah, I think I saw an interview or something where Alex Hirsch said basically that.

[@noremac7216]

@@FelixVGs none of that really disqualifies him from The Lovable idiot trope which I think is what they were alluding to. He has skills and really niche specific knowledge, but in a general sense he is definitely a goober

[@tjjordan4207]

That's something studios and execs don't understand. Some supporting characters are just meant to be supporting, the kind who are allowed to be who they are with little development.

[@youtubeviewer4472]

Dude, am I a side character?

[@Francis...]

If you didn't notice it, at the end of episode 3, Mabel asked what sweater she should wear: sequins or llama hair. At the beginning of episode 4, she's wearing the Llama sweater.

[@TheRedpiso89]

Looking back you realize why gruncle Stan was so freaked out about seeing the wax statue and why he was all chummy with it immediately after.. 😬

[@lulolie]

It's so sad once you have context TwT

[@gasterblaster6943]

Whoa! Never caught that

[@iron_pirate76]

During the end credits of episode 3, there is a secret code that reads "KH'V VWLOO LQ WKH YHQWV." and Once decoded it reads "HE'S STILL IN THE VENTS." During the end credits of episode 4, there is another secret code that reads "FDUOD, ZKB ZROW BRY FDOO PH?" and Once decoded, it reads "CARLA, WHY WONT YOU CALL ME?"

[@alexlee3261]

This was such a fun video. I couldn't stop laughing at y'alls reaction to Gideon. "I CAN BUY AND SELL YOU OLD MAN!" Is my absolute favorite moment. 🤣

[@resa7353]

The guys: Chupacabra and Cuthulu would be interesting! Alex: A talking Dorito. Most I can do.

[@IanEmrys]

A talking Dorito that is powerful enough to destroy dimensions

[@MrGrinch17]

Alex: take it or leave it

[@griffinshaffer83]

There's literally Cthulu at the end of the show.

[@resa7353]

@@griffinshaffer83 oh yeah totally forgot about that scene, when I wrote that xD

This show is just gonna keeps getting better and better

[@Symbolic-Sky]

The officers were supposed to be a couple but Disney forced them to make them “friends” but Alex did not relent

[@lulolie]

Yeah they were pretty clearly a couple ^_^

[@augustrempelewert4377]

To be fair, the fact that Blubs is like twenty years older than Durland as well as being his superior officer does make it a little bit weird.

[@SolProxy]

​@@augustrempelewert4377 Yeah maybe not the best pair of people to ship.

[@jgawrebel121]

@@augustrempelewert4377Wait WHAT?! they don’t have the same age? Years later and this show continues to surprise me.

[@augustrempelewert4377]

@@jgawrebel121 Yeah. In Stan's flashback to 30 years ago we see Blubs old enough to work at a grocery store. In Soos's flashback to 10 years ago we see Durland young enough to have braces and acne. And in the present, Blubs has grey hair while Durland doesn't.

[@joek3850]

This show has a crazy amount of hidden and background stuff. Keep your eyes peeled boys.

[@jeremias-serus]

I just realized Sherlock Holmes was voiced by fucking John Oliver lmao. Couldn't help but to visual him every time he talked.

[@jeremytung1632]

What's more Coolio and Larry King are literally Coolio and Larry King.

[@marshalljarnagin9370]

In the first episode, Dipper finds journal #3, and mentions the writing stops halfway through. (He also begins to write on the blank pages there)

[@jackalsniper4232]

Headhunters is a really funny episode the first time you watch. And then you finish the series, and it's not funny. It's heartbreaking.

[@starlightrai]

;-; some deep rooted trauma

[@ellielovegood6307]

yeah :(

[@Mirthful_Panda]

Yeah….

[@barbaravaldezprados3522]

Same with the rug episode. Is all fun and games, until you realize what Stan found in the secret room.

[@yuugt9129]

😢 yeah...

[@theoledicktwist6247]

I love how real dipper is with Gideon, like he doesn't yell or anything hes just like "yeah, no she hates you dude, sorry"

[@hii-people2245]

MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED In retrospect after having finished the show the wax Stan is actually quite depressing because Stan could be using it as a replacement for his at this point in time presumed to be dead twin

[@ellielovegood6307]

And that The “funeral” could’ve been the funeral that Stan could never have

[@JKthejokerpersonthing]

“Dead” twin

[@pollyyander]

i'm glad you're watching this-- hopefully more people will put some respect on western cartoons, like this, amphibia, the owl house ETC-!!

[@amam-hv2xr]

Gravity Falls!!!! one of my favorite shows of all time, in all of media! Been finished with it for more than two years now and I can safely say it was a life changing experience love this show and super excited to see your reactions!

[@auroraofclanborealis]

"Linclon has been dead for years." Maybe even decades.

[@F2PAlius]

I watched it when i was a kid and I understood the john wilkes booth reference... What? I liked Abe Lincoln as a kid.

[@horrorhistory7342]

Also gen z we got taught about the assassination in history class lol

[@kenpachiramasama9431]

That’s what was wondering did people not learn about it in elementary school?

[@sillyface6950]

I love that they fight/melt the wax with electric candles.

[@DavidRomigJr]

For reference, basic cell phones came out in 1984. Smart phones came out 1992. iPhone came out 2007. In 2012. Apple was releasing the iPhone 5.

[@lily-_-]

I love this show and I love watching reactors that end up falling in love with it too. My favourite ongoing gag in the show is the TV shows and commercials in the in-world TV. They're so ridiculous and unrealistic in a way that's almost perfectly realistic.

[@Cygnusart0843]

4:55 the first iPhone came out in 2007-2008. So this show came out when it was new, but still a thing.

[@Spellshot693]

I’m glad you’re enjoying the show, it’s my favorite show of all time. I won’t go into spoilers, but I will say that you haven’t even scratched the surface of the lore and story of this show, it’s so deep

[@claytonphillips3778]

Fun fact: Manly Dan and his family seen in the fishing episode are Wendy’s family :)

[@stephaniec3022]

cuthulu is a easter egg gag in the show during the finale lol

[@jaxcraft2848]

24:45: Oh my God, you guys were so close! It's a floating brain monster!

[@armyantmajor2048]

Does anyone else want to agree that if the SCP Foundation existed in Gravity Falls, the town and its many monsters and mysteries would be a field day for them? Also, what object classes would be assigned to the most popular monsters and mysteries?

[@atekotkot]

After a specific reveal later on in the series, this episode immediately gets sadder.

[@nerd8502]

(SPOILER ALERT) "What if Grunkle Stan has book number 1?" Me: uhhhh...

[@liamevans9815]

"Tell me another place that has a wax museum." Okay then... Madame Tussauds, London

Wow, I never got the "Sherlock Holmes got the wrong guy" joke!

6:47 idk who uncle phill is but they have someone on the list as “that fat guy” 😂

[@foranzo1582]

I forgot how *early* Gideon was introduced!!

[@Daesma999]

yeah, I got my first smartphone in around 2013 as well.. and I still was pretty late for that. Also I learned another popcorn technique: if the frequency between one pop to another one isn't less than 2 seconds, it's done. If it's like 3 or 5 you should pull it out. With this I never got burned popcorn.

[@ASharkNamedWaffle]

Stan is like a criminal grandpa that you cant hate no mather what things he do. And Soos is that uncle that does anything no matter how ridicilous to brighten up your day.

[@wrknjob]

@24:40 trust me, the big villain is NOT what you think. i ain’t a chupacabra or dragon 😂

[@n3dia.]

Fun fact: The Gravity Falls and Rick and Morty universes are connected

[@phrog5794]

Technically everything is connected to the Rick and morty universe, because they can travel to any dimension

[@noremac7216]

@@phrog5794 spoiler after the season 5 finale that's pretty questionable. Definitely not true for before the season 5 finale since the central finite curve was still intact and separated every conceivable universe where Rick was the smartest person in the universe from every conceivable Universe where he wasn't. But could technically be applicable after evil Morty destroyed it

[@rzeznikblaviken1690]

you could saw book number what boy have in first episode ;)

[@theredgamer9044]

So if you go to 14:09, then you would see Dipper reading journal number 2. That's crazy because when I first watched this on Disney, I didn't catch it the first time but looking back on this master piece of a show and seeing this tells you that there maybe more secrets that we didn't see.

[@sparklepool101]

You highly underestimate how many of my friends had an obsession with random facts about assassination and other random dark things in history. That and we role played as cats murdering eachother. Fifth grade was wild man lol

Cool another 2013 graduate! Yes, there were smart phones. The slider phones were a thing.😅

[@shakeriddleandroll939]

Pretty sure the target audience for this show was old enough to know about Abe Lincolns assassination. We were taught about it.

[@skyblue-fp5ul]

Please tell me that someone have told them about the secret codes at the end of the credit scene and scattered within the show?

[@TheForestFamily]

Not related to the episodes but to add to @5:00 discussion about when smart phones became common - I transferred from a truly middle class school to a wealthy school in 2013 and the percent of people that had smart phones doubled it was very much a wealthy thing

[@AdorianDelmore]

Yes every one on KZbin need to see this show! :)

[@ASMroleplay737]

I can't believe they predicted that stan would have number 1

[@nealenthenerd399]

I didn’t have a smartphone until 2019 so I can agree that lots of people probably didn’t have one in 2012
